Well, I've been having a lot of fun animating fluffy things lately. This was really just a personal exercise to help me figure out how to animate four legged walks, which are much more complex than runs. One could even say that I learned how to run before I learned how to walk. Hoho. Bad joke. Anyway, it started out as a generic four legged figure and it was only about half way through that I decided to make it into an umbreon. Horray for spontaneous unexpected pokéfanart. There's definitely a couple of things that I'd change, but meh. I'm not going to work on it anymore.

His left front leg looks like it's going off in a funny direction to the side when it pulls back. Also the head movement looks unnatural. Seems to have a stuff, funny waddle, but I could be seeing things there. Other than that, looks like really good practice. Better animation than I can do at this time.

others fan-artists have tried to make umbreon look more like a real animal, but THIS is not only wonderful animation and great art, but the best representation of umbreon as a real animal I have ever seen. I don't know if that's what you were going for, but that's what I get out of this! This is pretty much exactly how he would look as a real animal. Umbreon is one of my top 3 favorite pokemon. Thank you for doing him justice! sorry for the long comment lol KUDOS!!!

Aaaaaaaaah oh my god this is such a lovely compliment, thank you so much! That is just about exactly what I was going for, as as far as I can recall, it just started as a generic four legged walk, but turned into Umbreon on its own, heheeh...!
